Phosphorus is an essential element in soils. By using VOSviewer and Web of Science tools, we conducted a bibliometric analysis considering titles, and abstracts to identify the types of publications, the scientific fields they belong to, the years, the authors distributed by country, the publishing journals, and the keywords used. The results revealed the existence of 613 publications, of which 595 are articles in the priority fields of Environmental Sciences, Ecology, Forestry, and Soil Science, with an exponential increase in the number of articles published on this topic, especially in the last 10 years. A total of 201 authors were inventoried, with the top two countries being China and the USA. Journals where articles on this topic were published belong to the fields of soil science and forestry, but also include general journals; most articles were published in Forest Ecology and Management, Science of the Total Environment, and Forests. The most frequently used keywords were nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon, soil, and diversity, with an increased emphasis in the last 5 years on the implications of phosphorus in forest soils.
